Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinner Gyro Recipe for Families

If you are anything like me, when it comes to dinner and weeknights, you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner recipe for your busy family that you can prepare in less than 30 minutes.  This quick and easy dinner idea will satisfy everyone at the table, or almost everyone.

Look no further because I have you covered with a mouthwatering gyro recipe using Costco precooked Daphne’s Beef and Lamb.  This recipe is not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor, making it a perfect choice for a weeknight quick meal.

So, let us dive in and learn how to whip up these delicious gyros step-by-step.

Ingredients:

• Pita bread
• Tzatziki Sauce
• Red Onion, diced
• Romaine Lettuce, shredded
• Fresh tomatoes, diced
• Feta cheese, crumbled
• Costco precooked Daphne’s Beef and Lamb

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients together. I chopped the lettuce, tomatoes, and onion first and put them in a Ziploc bag so any leftovers would be ready to store right after dinner.  I took out Hannah’s Tzatziki Sauce.  You can use any brand, but Hannah’s is one of the best I have tasted.  The same goes for feta cheese.  Any brand will work.  Make sure to have everything ready before you prepare the beef and lamb to make the gyro assembling process smooth and efficient.

Step 2: Heat Up the Costco Precooked Daphne’s Beef and Lamb

Since the Daphne’s Beef and Lamb from Costco are precooked, you will just need to heat them up through in a skillet on the stovetop until warmed through for approximately four minutes.  I wanted our beef and lamb a little browner, so I heated them for about 10 minutes.

Tip:

If you have a family member whose preference is chicken or vegan, this recipe is just as great using chicken instead of beef and lamb or using all vegies instead of meat.

Step 3: Prepare the Pita Bread

While the beef and lamb are warming, heat the pita bread. You can do this the conventional way by wrapping the pita bread in foil and placing them in a preheated oven for a few minutes until they are nice and warm. Alternatively, if you want to keep the quick and easy weeknight dinner idea in mind, you can do what I did and throw the pita bread on a microwaveable plate and put them in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

Step 4: Assemble Your Gyros

Lay out your warm pita bread, then spoon some of the heated Costco precooked Daphne’s Beef and Lamb onto each pita bread. Next, top the meat with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and add tzatziki sauce.

Step 5: Fold, Serve, and Devour

Once you have added all your desired toppings, it is time to simply fold the sides of the pita bread over the filling, serve, and devour.

With this quick and easy weeknight dinner gyro recipe, you can whip up a delicious dinner for your family in no time.  So, next time you are craving something flavorful and satisfying, give this recipe a try using Costco’s precooked Beef and Lamb.  You will not be disappointed! Happy cooking!
